Hockey City Classic coming to Minnesota

On September 3rd, the University of Minnesota announced that TCF Bank Stadium will be hosting a doubleheader of outdoor hockey on January 17th.  The Gopher womens hockey team will be playing the Minnesota State Mavericks at 4:30 p.m., and then the Gopher mens team will be squaring off against the Ohio State Buckeyes at 8:00 p.m.  The Gopher mens hockey team actually played in last years Hockey City Classic as well.  They played the Wisconsin Badgers at Soldier Field in Chicago,Illinois.

With the Hockey City Classic just less than 2 months a head of us, you might want to hurry up and get your tickets now! Tickets have been flying off the shelf so far.  With how hockey crazy us Minnesota are, I don't see that changing.  Speaking on behalf of Gopher hockey fans, we are more than pumped about this game.  Having a big game at TCF Bank Stadium on Friday night against long time rival Ohio State is going to call for an exciting game atmosphere.  The stadium will be loud and rockin', and all you'll see in the stands is a sea of Maroon and Gold! And maybe some red...Go Gophers!
